PAGE SIX THE ECHO December, 1946 SAFETY PAGE By H. E. NEWBURY, Safety Director MOM, POPS PLAYIN6 \NITH my Toys AGAIN/ Stay Safe . .. Off-Of-Job, Too To lose time away from work, whether your injury occurred on or off the job, represents a direct loss to one of our employees. We are vitally interested in your wel fare, and offer the following safe ty suggestions in your behalf. Read and obey them, and your chances of being hurt off-the-job during the coming years will be greatly reduced. 1. Check your living quarters for such hazards as rugs on slick floors, frayed lamp cords, unsafe steps and walkways, toys and mar bles on the floor, broken glass ware, and numerous other items that could cause personal injury. 2. Never operate your car at a speed that is too fast for safety. Take into consideration the condi tion of your car, the condition of the roads, and the fact that you never know what the driver of the other vehicle might do. 3. Encourage the youngsters to not play in the street, and when forced to walk on the highway, to always walk on the left side of the road facing traffic. 4. Never cross a thoroughfare without being sure there are no vehicles approaching from either way. The age-old saying that “the pedestrian has the right-of-way,” is not observed by present day mo torists. 5. Do not take unnecessary chances. Broken bones and weeks in the hospital have often result ed from someone trying to save a few seconds, or take a shortcut 6. Always have even the slight est tajnry treated immediately. A hole caused by a pin puncture is large enough to admit thousands of germs, and infection can devel op within thirty minutes. For the past twenty-five years, the total number of Injuries and deaths occurring in the homes each year have greatly exceeded those occurring in American Industrial plants. This is rather alarming, but true. Self-preservation was practiced by our forefathers years aw. W« A Merry Christmas and A SAFE 1947! To each and every one of you, the personnel of the First Aid and Safety Department wishes to extend the Season’s Greetings. Your co-operation during 1946 was wonderful, and indications are that our plant will finish the year with the lowest accident frequency since it started operations seven years ago. You are to be commend ed for the part you have played. frm /Invasion ^' i fACTlCS OH ''IL THE HOME 'h front too/ hope I GET TO THE CAFETERIA FIRST Lift thi^‘ way and work at iCUrTA EVERY day- • Lift This '^av ano NOU WO«K ANYWHfcW USE CARE ATHON\E TOO” OH BOV/ ✓ E SnOV// ^^SlCKNCSS/ Employee strained f.l lower part of back while box of bobbins off of flat SUGGESTIONS: Always safe way by observing the fo“® ing rules: Never try to lift beyond strength.
